Why this Restaurant Equipment Repair Company, General Parts Group, Values its RFMA Membership
Restaurant facility managers have a tremendous responsibility. They oversee multiple facets of their business, from pavement and flooring to roofing and equipment. Managing everything from the floor to the roof is even more complex when the restaurant is part of a chain. Quality hinges on consistency in equipment and service across multiple locations. Facility directors need to manage their ever-growing chains without adding manpower. That is why the Restaurant Facility Management Association (RFMA) was born.
RFMA was created to help these like-minded individuals access much-needed support. Facility directors from major restaurant groups collaborated to bridge the gap between the existing associations and the expansiveness of their needs. With help from Professional Retail Store Maintenance (PRSM), the first RFMA conference kicked off in April of 2005. It attracted attendees from over 75,000 restaurants. Today, it is the cornerstone of the restaurant facility industry.
RFMA’s annual conference allows facility professionals to work as a team. They share best practices, information, and ideas to protect their companies’ assets. Restaurateurs also work with vendors at the conference. Vendors educate attendees on technology improvements, strategies, and services. Together, they find solutions to present and future problems.
RFMA is a true collaboration of industry professionals. That is why General Parts Group is a charter member. Through RFMA, we help restaurant facility managers maintain equipment consistency while focusing on the many other aspects of their job.
As a restaurant equipment repair company, the RFMA conference enables us to stay ahead of the market. Our technicians are cross-trained on equipment so facilities managers only need to make one call for repairs. We deliver everything from commercial appliance repair to restaurant equipment parts. We provide fast, efficient service and just one point of contact. By continuing to expand our network with foodservice facility professionals, we are better able to develop services that meet our customers’ ever-changing needs.
The 2015 RFMA annual conference will be held on February 1, 2, and 3 in San Diego, CA.
